Aileene Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I love this scent, adore it, but Daystar is very much at the high end of my budget. (I have it in a lot of my bath products) I wish to try it in wax. (KY Parasoy)I was wondering if Island Goddess Cupcake had a twin...or maybe just a close relation our there somewhere a bit cheaper to test in wax?Thanks again,--Aileene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaroth Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 try this again..sheesh. A very, very close one to this is Nature's Garden Caribbean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I love and also use Island Goddess Cupcake and I wish I could find a less expensive alternative. I also have NG's Caribbean but I don't find them close enough, maybe if you could add some cake notes to Caribbean it might make good match. Hmmm...I may have to try that see if I can make a match.Island Goddess Cupcake...delicious cupcake with hints of coconut, pineapple and a splash of rum, mixed in a vanilla-buttery cupcake batter.Caribbean... A tropical paradise blend of coconut, fresh sliced pineapple, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aileene Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I think I am going to try mixing Caribbean...we'll see how well I do lol. Now off to find a vanilla/yellow cake type note.I keep sniffing IGC trying to figure out what exactly the cake note is.--Aileene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 good luck...let us know how you make out. I wonder if a birthday cake fo would work or maybe a butter cream, but I would still not be sure of how to add the rum notes to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I've never smelled the original but when I saw you say cake and rum it made me think... NG has an almond rum cake. I know the almond is not in the original but maybe it's a start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aileene Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 I've got the birthday cupcake and the almond rum cake, as well as a few other vanilla cakey types coming. I also went with the hot buttered rum as well. I am wondering if a bit of that with the cupcake and caribbean....Well I won't know until they get here and I get them together lol. Wish me luck --Aileene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator girl Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I hope it goes well for you. You'll have to keep us posted!All this talk made me pour my sample a couple of days ago. It smells great. Can't wait to burn it. Edited May 14, 2010 by aviator girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just a thought but, maybe mixing Egg Nog (for rum/vanilla note) with Caribbean would be good. Then you could always use a bit of Patty Cake (KY) if you need more of a bakery note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aileene Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Okay I just (5 minutes ago) poured a batch of tarts with Caribbean(NG) & Rice Crisp Treat (NG) as oob the rice crisp smelled a little more like that cake vanilla base than the birthday cupcake...I am so not impressed with the birthday vanilla cupcake so far (I poured a batch of tarts a couple days ago, hoping it would smell better in wax and I'm just not caring for it at all..nothing like cake or vanilla really)So will keep looking for a vanilla cake scent, but I have high hopes for the Rice Crisp/Caribbean mix, its already pretty close in my opinion. I am going to see if it changes in the next 48 hours.Will let you guys know.--AileeneETA: I used a 50/50 mix of the two scents Edited May 18, 2010 by Aileene forgot amounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
